13 Boston University Dorms Ranked From Best To Worst

Boston University has about 18,000 undergraduates, so naturally, there needs to be plenty of housing, not all of which is great. Here's a ranking of BU’s housing, from best to worst.

1. StuVi 1.

Well, duh. StuVi1 is not only beautiful, but it is also conveniently located just a few hundred feet off Comm Ave, not to mention the view of the Charles. It has the Buick Street market just downstairs, with amazing food, and it has kitchens. Who wouldn’t want to live in an apartment building that they would never be able to afford after college?!

2. StuVi 2.

As the younger brother of StuVi 1, StuVi 2 stands much taller and more magnificent. It is new, clean and big. It is perfect for living with your close friends. The lobby resembles that of a hotel and well, its just StuVi. It just cannot be number one because of no kitchens.

3. West Campus (Claflin, Sleeper, Rich).

West is best. Enough said.

4. 1019.

Many refer to 1019 as a BU sophomore rite of passage. It is in the same condition as the West Campus triplets, but it is a step up, due to the fact that it is a suite style. You get a less cramped feel because there is a sitting room, and you only have to share a bathroom with five other people instead of forty. It is smaller, so there is more of a community feel. Plus, it’s in West.

5. Kilachand.

The super smart kids get the huge rooms. This place is not necessarily super, super nice -- no nicer than the next -- but the room space is huge, and the location is beautiful. Plus, it is all the super smart kids in one place and they get grass they can sit on right outside.

6. 575 Commonwealth Ave.

Despite the fact that this is not the newest, prettiest, or cleanest dorm, it has air conditioning. What?!

7. Bay State Road.

You really cannot beat the beauty of this road. This is the road that made me fall in love with BU. No matter the season, it is alway gorgeous, and it is located near the best dining hall on campus.

8. East Campus Brownstones.

Super close to Newbury, so this is obviously a great place. Plus, living in a brownstone is so amazing.

9. Myles Standish.

This dorm is really only good for a bus stop. It’s located next to UBurger and right in Kenmore, but you have to walk for a dining hall.

10. Danielson.

Those who even know what this building is, or where it is, know that it is a beautiful on the outside and conveniently located, sandwiched between MIT frat houses. But, it is actually in the middle of nowhere and no dining hall around.

11. South Campus Brownstones.

South Campus is very underrated in beauty and how nice the housing is. However, it is so far-removed and set back that most of the time, I even forget it’s there.

12. Warren Towers.

With these, you really can’t beat the location. Everything is right there, you are right in the heart of the campus, and you don’t ever have to go outside for a dining hall. But, that is seriously it. It looks like, was designed by, and is, a prison.

13. The Towers.

Ew, It’s the Towers. Enough said.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
